Liaoyang, Jinglufu.

Xiong Tingbi convened the generals to analyze the battle situation in Liaodong in the first year of the Apocalypse, so as to determine the next battle and defense strategy.

The generals under the seat clearly formed two small groups.

One is that Xue Laiyin led the Liao generals who came from Xuanzhen, and the other is the Liao generals under the local Xiong Tingbi dominated by Cao Wenzhao.

The generals arrived in batches, and after they sat down, they all quietly looked at Xiong Tingbi, the unforgiving Liaodong Jingluo above, and felt a little funny.

A strategist with such a strong ability has a mouth that is as unclean as these big bosses.

They all know that among the many strategies since the end of Wanli, Xiong Tingbi can be called the most accomplished one.

On the management of the army, Xiong Tingbi is strict in governing the army, sympathetic to the soldiers, and on strategic deployment, his strategy will be Liaoyang, Shenyang, Guangning The first line is solid, often so that the slaves and thieves can not find a place to start, which is enough to do this job.

But he has a perverse and conceited personality, and he has also been known as a "grand" person in the DPRK and the army for a long time.

During this time in Liaoyang, Xiong Tingbi sometimes raised his account like this, discussing the war situation in various places with his generals.

Sometimes they also climb the city tower in person to find out whether the military horses and equipment in various places are sufficient and complete.

Every other month, Xiong Tingbi had to inspect the troops in Liaoyang, inspect the rice warehouse, and personally ask the little scribes in charge of the various departments how much grain and grass were left.

If there is a place where the grain and grass stockpiled is not enough for half a year, Xiong Tingbi will immediately ask the military department for food, which can be said to be comprehensive.

Half a month ago, Houjin retreated, and after the Ming army recovered Shenyang, they soon found that the local supplies were insufficient.

At first, Xiong Tingbi sent a letter to the Ministry of War, asking him to transport military supplies to Shenyang for the reconstruction of the city and the defense against the Jiannu who could invade at any time.

But at this time, Senator Wang Huazhen, who was stationed in Quang Ninh, also wrote a letter, saying that Quang Ninh lacked food and salary, and asked the Ministry of War to allocate it.

Wang Huazhen is an important member of the Donglin Party, and he is a proud protégé of Ye Xianggao, the head of the court, and Zhang Minghe, the secretary of the military department, is also a prominent figure in Donglin.

Half a month has passed, and Shenyang New Town is still in tatters, the construction period has been seriously delayed, the morale of the army and civilians is low, and there is a shortage of silver and food.

Guangning, which was very abundant, sent a steady stream of new food and materials, which made Xiong Tingbi even more annoyed.

In recent days, in addition to completing the above necessary tasks, Xiong Tingbi will never forget one thing, that is, he scolded Wang Huazhen, Senator of Guangning, and Zhang Minghe, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

When he saw that everyone had arrived, he took a document and threw it to the ground, saying:

"This Wang Huazhen, is he dizzy?"

"It's just a matter of competing with me for food, Pingliao Army?" Xiong Tingbi's chest continued to rise and fall.

"How could the Liao people have been treasonous, he preached this kind of name to the imperial court and the princes, wouldn't he force the Liao people to rebel?!"

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao was also helpless.

"It's not to force the anti-Liao people, in recent days, the general has heard a lot of rumors, saying that the Liao people in Guangning are dissatisfied and want Wang Shi to change the title of Pingliao Army."

"That Wang Huazhen did not obey, but ordered the soldiers to injure the Liao."

"This kind of person, why would the imperial court let him be a senator?" Xue Laiyin, the newcomer of Xuanzhen, was full of doubts.

Cao Wenzhao slammed his fist on the table.

"That Wang Huazhen is the protégé of the old Ye Pavilion of the Dynasty, and Zhang Minghe, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is also inclined to him, and the grain and salary of Guangning have always been rich in Liaoshen."

Xue Laiyin nodded, and listened to the generals whispering below.

"Wang Huazhen caused the Liao people to be dissatisfied, isn't it going to burden us?"

"Jingluo originally wanted to repair Shenyang this month, to support the fortified city, and wait for the opportunity to restore Puhe and Fushun."

"It's May now, and the supplies haven't arrived yet?"

"They are all transferred to Guangning, even if this Shenyang is recovered, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it."

Xiong Tingbi was dressed in regular clothes, sitting in the middle of the lobby of Jingluo Mansion, on several cases more than two meters long behind him, wrapped in yellow satin with the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor in the Forbidden City.

The so-called not afraid of god-like enemies, but afraid of pig-like teammates, Guangning Senator Wang Huazhen made a faint move in the rear, which made Xiong Tingbi have a headache.

The generals talked about Wang Huazhen's frequent scolding, and some people let out a strange laugh, and the solemn atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

Xiong Tingbi listened to them becoming more and more arrogant, and glanced at them coldly.

When the generals saw it, they immediately held their breath and didn't dare to laugh anymore.

After a long time, Xiong Tingbi put the paperwork aside, rubbed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Now it seems that the slave thief is about to come back when he sees that Phi Dao can't be attacked." ”

"The materials have been sent to Guangning, and Shenyang has not received anything, and judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it."

Hearing this, the generals looked at each other.

Xue Laiyin and Cao Wenzhao glanced at each other, and they didn't know if he gave an order or was talking to himself.

The two led the generals to get up one after another and said, "Please give instructions to Taiwan, and we will obey Jun's orders!" ”

Xiong Tingbi's death path was interrupted, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What do you teach?" Sit down, y'all! ”

The generals were helpless and immediately sat down again.

Xiong Tingbi got up, walked back and forth in the hall, and said to himself:

"Wang Huazhen got the food and salary from Shenyang, and what news did he release that the Pingliao army was all in Guangning, I'm afraid that he wants to take the initiative to attack?"

Xiong Tingbi walked to the map, looked at the map and said:

"If Wang Huazhen wants to attack, he can only take Mongolia from Guangning." Thinking of Wang Huazhen's recent actions, he finally came to a conclusion, so he shouted:

"Wang Huazhen's straw bag, 140,000 soldiers and civilians in Shenyang, people are hungry and tired, and they are waiting for his food and salary to restore the city, but he never asks."

"Now that he has actually hit the idea on the head of Mongolia, is he afraid that Liaozuo is not fast enough?"

Xue Laiyin, Cao Wenzhao and others listened to Xiong Tingbi's words and belittled Wang Huazhen's self-righteous strategy to the point of worthlessness.

They all feel that things have reached a very critical moment, and something big is going to happen in Liaodong again.

In fact, although Xiong Tingbi is dissatisfied with Wang Huazhen, he will still not be swayed by anger in terms of right and wrong.

All the generals here were promoted by virtue of their military exploits, but those who fought with Houjin and Mongolia understood that Xiong Tingbi was not alarmist.

If Wang Huazhen really sent troops to Mongolia, it would be a matter of time and night, and then the backyard would catch fire, and the situation of Liao and Shen would be even more difficult.

Cao Wenzhao frowned and said: "There is no moat outside Guangning, sending troops to Mongolia, there is nothing to defend, and on the plain, it has become a live target, it is simply self-defeating." ”

"Taitai, if this is the case, will Wang Huazhen, who has been in the Senator of Guangning for many years, not understand?"

Xiong Tingbi sneered: "Wang Huazhen can understand a fart, and he will quickly send a horse to Guangning, so that he is not allowed to come out by himself!" ”

After speaking, seeing a general turn away, Xiong Tingbi sighed.

"I just hope it's in time."

After that, he sighed a few times, and said to himself: "It is estimated that it will have no effect, then Wang Huazhen will not listen to my orders." ”

Speaking of this, the generals are all worried.

It didn't take long for the situation to go bad again...

At this time, a fast horse from the gate stopped in front of the Jingluo Mansion, and a soldier presented a document and said loudly after entering the hall:

"The military department ordered that after Xiong Tingbi recovered Shenyang, he immediately ordered the military horses of the headquarters to go to Guangning to help Senator Wang Huazhen!"

Previously, Wang Huazhen was engaged in his own work in Guangning, and Xiong Tingbi was also busy with Liaoshen affairs and had no time to take care of anything else.

But this time, he and Wang Huazhen had a dispute over the Quang Ninh issue.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of Liaodong, was afraid of setting himself on fire and ignored it, and although Xiong Tingbi had expected this order from the military department on this matter, he was still angry.

Ben still wanted to ignore everything and defend Liaoshen.

Zhang Minghe's document almost forced himself to make a choice between disobedience and giving up Liaoshen.
